The Downtown District is a vibrant and diverse sub-community within the City of Scottsdale. Expansion and revitalization efforts have created a modernized western atmosphere that is comprised of both old and new businesses, established older neighborhoods, new single and multifamily housing, and an energized entertainment district.

Located within the Downtown District is the Scottsdale Center for the Arts, the Civic Center special event venue, and Scottsdale Stadium, the spring training home of the San Francisco Giants. Visitors and tourists enjoy the Downtown District's parks, museums, vast shopping opportunities, and a multitude of hotel and fine dining options.
